Reel Merlin rec

[tama_abi]

For a moment, I thought I wouldn't post a rec again, because some people in fandom are disgusting me, and I didn't want anything to do with them. But who would I be if I stopped doing what I like to do and sharing what I love because some people have nothing better to do with their lives than telling anonymous hate over people's back? Beside, even if they feel so powerful, they are a very small minority. Mostly, fandom is about love, and let's not forget that.


I know I'm not nearly done with my paperlegends reading, but I saw today that someone made a reel fic over The King's Speech, which is a movie I love, and I couldn't not read it. It's a Arthur/Merlin Modern Au (or maybe Historical?)
 

The Prince's Speech, by a8c_sock ; PG ; Four Parts ; 37k words
A/S : Arthur is the Crown Prince of Camelot, he has just one problem, his speech. When his father takes ill he finds he must either find his voice or risk losing the throne. Can unconventional speech therapist Merlin Emerson help the Prince speak? And what happens when the Prince falls in love with the man who has helped him find his voice?

I loved the movie so much, I couldn't not read this. And I was not disappointed. It starts like the movie, awesome as it is, and then, slowly, the author's choices, and the show's characteristic (especially Merlin's characterization, which is breathtaking in this fic) are taking over, and things diverty from the movie... But the important bits are here (including the famous speech, which makes me very emotionnal, because it's a beautiful speech)... and then it goes further the movies timeline, because Arthur and Merlin are in love, and that requires some talk, right? The ending is beautiful, and I'll leave you to discover it by yourself.

I absolutely second this rec, this fic is adorable and the speeches were so good! I actually teared up at the end and I don't often do that with fics <3

Hey!

Thank you for your kind message! I'm very busy because I'm preparing a several months trip to Asia, plus I've been a bit disgusted by some people hate on the mean meme. I do intend to come back to my rec list soon though!
I'll still have internet in Asia, and I've got a bookmark folder of fics to rec containing 26 of them. As soon as I find a little time, I'll post them ^^


Thanks a lot, it really warmed my heart!
